Invisible Ghost (1941)

Monogram Pictures
Directed by Joseph H. Lewis
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Roan Group)

Lugosi goes into a trance whenever he sees his supposedly dead wife and kills people unlucky enough to be in his house. He wakes up completely unaware of what he has done. The police investigate, arrest his daughter's fiance, convict and execute him. This wrongful execution is never mentioned by the police, even when Lugosi is uncovered as the real killer. The usual cheap Monogram production values never gives this one a chance, but watching Lugosi act with his hands and eyes is fascinating.
